We bought a bunch of direct-from-Celestica servers a couple of years
ago thru Alliance Computers, a local server VAR.

We weren't entirely happy with them; they ran hot, and we possibly
cooked them to death :-(.  Probably due to heat issues, they weren't
reliable enough to become real production systems.

I saw later-generation Celestica-made servers that looked further
nicer, but I think I'd rather buy Opteron boxes from HP; we got some
from them that have (again been abused :-() worked pretty flawlessly
even in a somewhat hostile (3rd world) environment.
